    well, I don't set much store by it only that it is a opinion poll asking people to estiamate what they think the population percentage is. It might be useful to changing opinions about LGBT rights towards equality, but it doesnt really mean much, since it isent anything distinct or concrete.

    This is funny, actually. Plus, it's nothing but an estimate, and we all know how great those things are. :rolleyes:

    haha, judging from what I see so far, my future college's population seems to actually have this percentage of LGBT students :slight_smile:

    just about 1 in 4 is probably gay, according to their Fb profiles!

    This poll is only an estimate of the numbers of Gay and Lesbians. It leaves out so many people, Transgendered, Bisexual, Queer... Ill just use queer as an umbrella term.

    I wonder if the pro-discrimination people will use this to show that because of the gay characters on TV, more people are becoming gay and how this will ruin our future and how we're becoming such an immoral country, blah blah blah. Not that it would really mean anything since it's just an opinion poll, but they'd spin it to be a "scientific study" and try to use it against us.

    I wish 25% of the guys I like were gay, then if only 25% of those liked me, I'd be all set (!)

    anti-gay people do not believe in science. They also do not believe in the constitution, jesus, or brains.

    Actually they do believe in Jesus, and that's part of the problem.

    Very interesting! I wouldn't put it that high.

    I bet there's at LEAST that many people who are bisexual, however.

    thats a completely different jesus. they believe in supply-line jesus, not bible jesus... cause if they believed in bible jesus, they wouldnt be the way they are. they would technically be indepdents or democrats.
